This set of FREE Opposites puzzles features 12 pairs of common antonyms:

  • in/out
  • up/down
  • big/small
  • hot/cold
  • hard/soft
  • open/closed
  • fast/slow
  • happy/sad
  • day/night
  • long/short
  • empty/full
  • clean/dirty
The puzzles all have different shapes which makes them self-correcting. Children will know when they're made a correct match if the puzzle fits!

I recommend that you laminate these puzzles or print them on heavy cardstock to make them more durable for little hands.

    2. Hi there,

      Is there any way that I can change the language of your puzzles? I am an Afrikaans teacher in SA and would love to use it in my lessons.

      Thanks!

  4. Hi! Thanks so much for your work! I have used quite a few of your preschool supports. Just wanted to let you know that I often make some modifications or other visual supports for kids who use AAC to communicate. For example I have a .pdf of a book that I made that can go with your "Opposites/Antonyms" activity. If you are interested I can send you the file if you want to offer it for free along with the activity, or I was thinking I could offer it for free on TPT and mention that it goes with your activity from your website, if that's ok? Let me know!
